Other than he wants to have another go at getting Theresa May’s Brexit deal through parliament and, failing that, he would set up a three-week citizens’ assembly.

And no, he wasn’t going to criticise Johnson for getting Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe banged up for longer, because anyone could make a mistake.
